PATH’s Education program is the growth step program.
GROWTH can only be attained once the crisis has been addressed and the family has been stabilized.
PATH, in collaboration with several local social services agencies, is now offering an Education Program
which includes a regular schedule of life-skills classes like literacy, parenting, GED, ESL, nutrition,
money management and home-ownership.
